Schedule a Consultation
Discrimination

Which includes discrimination, harassment, and hostile work environment claims based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, pregnancy-related conditions, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, and marital status.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is a unique form of gender-based discrimination and is illegal under federal, state, and local law, such as the laws in New York City. This includes not only sexual assault and battery, rape, groping, and other unwelcomed sexual physical contact, but also unwanted sexual comments, text messages, photos, and more.

Retaliation

The law prevents employers from retaliating against employees who participate in making complaints of discrimination in the workplace. Claims of unlawful retaliation may include termination, demotion, change in rates of pay, or change in job duties.

Wage and Hour Claim

Various violations under the Equal Pay Act for overtime, minimum wage, commissions, and non-payment of the final check.

Family and Medical Leave
Family and Medical Leave or “FMLA” is the federal law that guarantees certain employees up to 12 workweeks of unpaid leave each year with no threat of job loss and health benefits just as if they were working. Florida also has its own laws regarding family and medical leave laws specifically for Florida residents.
Employment Contract Litigation
Including contract disputes regarding breach of contract, severance agreements, employee contracts, and restrictive covenants like non-compete agreements and non-solicitation agreements. Our attorneys also assist in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating employment contracts.
Whistleblower
When adverse actions occur to employees for reporting of illegal actions in the workplace that violate state or federal regulations. A whistleblower is a person–often a brave employee–who reveals information about activity within a private or public organization that is deemed illegal, immoral, illicit, unsafe or fraudulent.
